Recently, strange things have been happening in Kyoto.
First, Chu Tianxiao held a big recruitment event, but the result made everyone drop their eyebrows. Because the final candidate turned out to be the leader of the "Cultivator Immortal Sect"! What's even more ridiculous is that Chu Tianxiao actually bought this money-burning thing in a package, which would be fine, but he actually spent... 30 million!
For a while, no matter how many miracles Chu Tianxiao had created before, doubts and ridicules were inevitable in Kyoto. After all... this 'cultivator sect' had made a lot of jokes in the past, and they had long been proven to be a bunch of money-losing goods. Some people believed in them before and gave them a helping hand, but they failed again and again without exception... It can be said that the mark has been made, and no matter how capable Chu Tianxiao is, he can't prop this pile of mud up the wall!
Therefore, after learning the news, many people became even less optimistic about Chu Tianxiao. However... Putting this matter aside, another strange thing happened in Kyoto recently, which also attracted a lot of attention.
This matter is still related to Chu Tianxiao.
Just yesterday, the Chu family suddenly bought a medicinal field in the north of the city that was neither big nor small. Many people saw Chu Tianxiao commanding everyone to transplant spiritual plants there. Those spiritual plants were quite strange. The fruits they produced seemed to be Rakshasa fruits, but they were much larger than ordinary Rakshasa fruits and their colors were as bright as blood... What was even more strange was that after that, a 20-man detachment of the North City Army suddenly appeared. They took turns on duty, patrolled day and night, and guarded the medicinal field, which added a mysterious color to the matter. Although Chu Tianxiao was familiar with the Seventh Prince, he still tried to use the army to guard the medicinal field as little as possible. If it weren't for the fact that the North City Army was affiliated with the marginal forces and the patrol range of the detachment also overlapped with the medicinal field... It was unknown what kind of storm this matter would cause. So in the eyes of many people, Chu Tianxiao was willing to do this matter even if it caused people to talk about it, which itself meant something very strange.
As a result, difficulties soon occurred, and the security of this group of troops also dropped several levels at a very fast speed, so that after nightfall, this medicinal field was frequently stolen...
Then... the word of mouth spread in Kyoto inexplicably...
Things seem to be brewing quietly...
…
A house somewhere.
"Look, this is what I just got."
A man in green clothes opened his palm, revealing a bright red fruit, crystal clear with dewdrops on it.
There was a sandalwood round table in the hall, with a dozen people surrounding it. Upon hearing the sound, everyone's eyes fell on the fruit in the green-clothed man's hand.
If you look closely, you will find that these people are all energetic and have their own temperament. Their clothes are obviously from the Divine Marquis Family, and their status is not low... Obviously, these people are the negotiating representatives of the Divine Marquis Family Alliance.
"Is this a Rakshasa fruit?" An old man stroked his beard, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in surprise.
“Well… someone has tried it before, and it is undoubtedly the effect of the Rakshasa fruit… It’s just not ripe yet, but… it’s already equivalent to the effect of a normal Rakshasa fruit.” said the original man in green.
"Oh? It's not even mature yet, but it has such a miraculous effect?" A purple-clothed woman raised her finger and said with a smile, "This Mr. Chu, it seems that he is really capable..."
"... Using the army to create a mysterious atmosphere, and then deliberately making things difficult for us to succeed, gradually lowering their defenses... This has aroused the curiosity of everyone in Kyoto. I have already talked to the three managers of the medicine garden before coming here, and they are all very interested..." A man from the Qin family said, "I have to say, this person's methods are endless, which is quite interesting."
"Well, it was too easy to get, I also feel it's strange... Now that I think about it, it's probably just a way for that prodigal son to show off..." The old man took the fruit from the green-clothed man's hand, rubbed it carefully, and sneered, "But, he is a little too naive, thinking that a fruit can scare us?"
After he sneered, the purple-clothed woman immediately laughed, and several other representatives of the Divine Marquis families also smiled. Some even sneered, not hiding their sarcasm at all - they were all people who had experienced many ups and downs. Did this young man Chu Tianxiao think that he could demonstrate to them just because he had created a new Rakshasa fruit that was quite attractive
But it's just a childish act and only adds to the laughing stock.
Chu Tianxiao might be a martial arts genius, but he is too inexperienced in these aspects. How can he be compared with old foxes like them
"He's anxious." The old man said with a smile.
The man in blue nodded: "He is a 17-year-old boy after all."
"Nothing more."
"We are about to form an alliance, and the great trend will be established, but this prodigal son is still studying these little tricks. It is obvious who is superior and who is inferior."
"Heh... I've said before that you all overestimate this person."
“… But we must not be careless.”
Even though this group of people secretly sneered at Chu Tianxiao's demonstration, when the last sentence fell, everyone in the field came to their senses. Looking down on this young man is one thing, and underestimating the enemy and making mistakes is another... With the experience of these old foxes, how could they not understand this
"In my opinion, the point is not the value of this fruit itself..." After laughing, the yellow-shirted man shook his head and said, "From the current situation... Chu Tianxiao is still exploring this improved Rakshasa fruit. The fruit we have now is likely a failed product... He released this immature fruit, most likely as a lure. If we underestimate the enemy, when his finished product comes out, combined with his methods, he will definitely catch us off guard. By then, it will be a big trouble for our layout..."
As he spoke, he raised his head and said leisurely, "In two days, the Shengtian Fruit Fair held by Wanyao Garden will be held. We will meet friends with various spiritual fruits... Chu Tianxiao, maybe he wants to win by surprise?"
The old man nodded and said, "Yes, if Chu Tianxiao wants to counter our alliance, he must have tried every means to win over allies. Wanyao Garden and Dan Pavilion are both giants in Kyoto... Chu Tianxiao's previous purchase of the 'Cultivator's Immortal Gate' was probably just a cover. His real purpose is to target the Fruit Association!"
"Hehe..." Hearing this, the purple-clothed woman covered her mouth and laughed, "Unfortunately, he didn't expect that we had already laid a net for this fruit fair. He didn't have the slightest chance at all!"
After this was said, most people smiled, but one person frowned slightly and said, "We must be on guard against what happened at the alchemy meeting."
"Hey... this is natural, but don't forget that the so-called nine alliances were basically fighting each other and were a mess. How can they be compared with the alliance we are about to form today? How can we make the same mistakes again?" One person said, looking at the man in blue, and continued: "But to be on the safe side, it is better to put this fruit... Um, Brother Luo?"
He didn't finish his words, but the man in green knew exactly what he meant. He nodded and said, "I've invited Mr. Jiao... He should be here soon..."
At this moment, footsteps were heard, and a servant came forward to report. The man in green immediately said, "Please come in quickly." Then an old man dressed in a long gown and dressed as a doctor walked in. He first clasped his fists to the man in green, exchanged some polite words, and then picked up the fruit and sniffed it gently...
